Had a good 3 days in Bombay, not one rude interaction. 5 mins in Delhi and the driver is threatening and abusing someone on call in the most frightening way.

Not falling asleep, so now it's time for deep sleep music with delta waves on YouTube.

Nivedita Menon will be at NLS to deliver the second MK Nambyar lecture. It is an event open to all! Follow the link for the abstract of her talk.

After finding it impossible to blog in law school, I am trying to write again. In this blog piece I take a small dive into existentialism to explore a paradoxical feeling : that we are in this world but not of it. Check it out when you have time! open.substack.com/pub/hmkaushik/…

A bit of unabashed cross-posting. Gratified to see my book in print after years of work. My thanks to my editor Karthik Venkatesh (‏‎‎ کارتِک وینکٹیش, ਕਾਰਤਿਕ) The link to pre-order online is in the comments, but if, like me, you’re more an indie store person, the book should be at bookstores by 25 July

How do I manipulate the algorithm so that I stop seeing useless Rohit Vs Virat FC wars

I really cannot understand how some of these American politicians think. Is willingness to bomb the Middle-east a secret qualification test?

Noticing a funny pattern. A lot of anti-natalist philosophers tend to be cursed with a long life.

There are statements that are consoling when you tell it to yourself and ridiculous when you tell it to others. ex: Others have it worse.

This is an extremely frustrating experience. I was almost bullied out of the park at 10:15 am today. 6am -10am. 4pm-6pm. The city is designed to push people out of pleasant places and into horrible road infrastructure.

The compulsory naming policy in UP is one of the most horrendous rules. It nudges the psyche to indulge in its prejudices freely. Even more ridiculous are the ones defending it as a normal rule since it is applicable to all "equally".

As a kid, for some reason I adopted the belief that exposing myself to rain and cold weather and not falling sick was a sign of strength. I'm suffering now for this erroneous belief.
